I need some techniques to help me put an end to the self-torture I inflict upon myself. This
torture can take the form of recriminations over things done 20 minutes or 20 years ago and which I just can't
seem to let go. I am plagued by paranoia as it is, but this endless self-deprecation is just making matters worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions/techniques on how I can get beyond such behavior? I won't be seeing a psychiatrist for
another two weeks and don't know if I can last that long. I'm taking 4mg of risperdal/day and 20mg of lexapro/day, plus .5mg of lorazepam twice daily or as needed.
I'm at a loss as to how to make certain thought patterns stop and wake up in dread each morning and spend pretty much all my waking hours consumed by these thoughts of
failure and regret and a feeling of angst. Maybe this is too vague, but I'm hoping someone can suggest something.
